I have never been so pleased. We have hired many, poor, contractors in the past. Not anymore. Richard Miller and his team were amazing. My crew did show up on time everyday. The quality of their work was perfection. If there was a problem, it was fixed, no questions asked. We loved the fact that Richard agreed to all the little extras, without charging more, so we could stay within our budget. Our crew cleaned up sooo well each and everyday. They worked 10 hour days, never left the house and had a quick 15 min. lunch. We felt like family to them. I will miss them!! Stupid, I know, but, true. Brenda and Sean took care of all our needs, personally and on the phone. No answering service there! We loved Richard. A truly, honest, person. We spoke almost everyday to make sure we were happy. Everything was done by the book!! Permits and other legal requirements, DONE!! Please don't hesitate in hiring this company. Totally worth it!! Thank You Bobson and Staff!!

Overall the work performed was very good, sometimes the schuedling was a bit continous and haggleing with the owner Richard could get a bit trying but I was more concerned about the work and quility and any to get proper permits for our own documentaion.

Description of Work
We had a complete bathroom renovation from the entire plumbing in the crawl space to joist and floors and walls, everything electrical also. We new there work was excellent from a previous job on another room, We ask for the same contractors who did the previous project and got them. Again the project came out very nice and we are completely happy with there work. We would like to thank Marcus,Paul and Bruno,Tim and Dave and of course Frank all of them were professionals and knew the trade very well. If you should go by way of Bobson ask for these skilled workers.

Approximately 27 months later, after a rain storm, the roof began to leak. I then called Bobson regarding the leak, and was informed that because I was out of warranty that I would have to pay a $250 service fee. I paid the fee and Bobson came out and did a 15 minute calk job to what they "believed" was the issue. Three weeks later, after another rain storm, the roof began to leak again; this time much worse. I contacted Bobson about this most current leak, and was told that they were unable to find a problem from the last time they came out. They simply refused to send anyone out to look at the roof as the water was coming into my house. DIck Miller, the owner of Bobson, finally called me back and said he was not going to send anyone out, but said that I could make an appointment to have window treatments installed (which he bought may be the problem), for between $500 and $1,000. The bottom line is that in my opinion, not only does Bobson perform terrible work at high prices, but they refuse to back up their work. The company had the nerve to call me this Spring offering 10% off on various spring home improvement projects. I have been told that at this stage, the owner simply sub-contracts out a lot of the work- and in talking to him on the phone, he seems to have little if any knowledge on the nuts and bolts of construction work. Bobson has sure changed (and not for the better) with its ownership. I will never hire them again, or recommend them to others.

Description of Work
I had originally hired Bobson to replace my roof in 2009. The price quoted on a 30 year roof, and what I paid, was relatively high compared to other estimates I had received. However, because I was familiar with the name Bobson, I went with them and paid $8,000 for a 30 year roof on an 1850 square foot house. The roof replacement went smoothly and was very quick (almost too quick it seemed).

Service Provider Response

Bobson did send out our service person twice to investigate the customers complaint of a leak. Our service person found that the leak was not from the customers roof but was in fact from a window sill above the bathroom area that was rotting out and allowing a small amount of water to enter. Bobson did suggest to the customer that the window should be re trimmed with aluminum and we did offer to provide that service for an additional charge. The customer agreed but when we tried to call him to schedule the work he refused to return our calls. We called him several times and never got any response. Bobson was not hired to perform this work. The roof that was installed by Bobson never leaked. As far as the personal attacks on me, I am a residential builder with over 25 years of experience in the home improvement field. Bobson has an A+ rating with the BBB which we would not have if claims like this one were correct. Richard Miller President

I enjoy what they built for me. The only thing I did not like is that they gave a quote of $5000.00 but then the owner came out and said that it would cost more.

In a few years, paint was peeling. They refused to honor the lifetime warranty. In my opinion, this company does not operate with integrity and is a good one to avoid in light of the better ones out there.

This person never purchased any work from Bobson Construction Co. They purchased a home where Bobson had done work several years ago for a prior homeowner. This person is trying to get something that they are not entitled to. Bobson Construction Co. Management

The owner Richard came out for a quote on a new roof and siding. I could not believe this guy was a business owner as he was dressed like he just rolled out of bed and had absolutely zero people skills. He could not have been less professional; didn't smile, didn't shake my hand and was completely unfriendly. He would not even give me pricing until I told him what my budget was. Finally I persuaded him to give me a number on the roof (which he did not even go up on the house to measure), his quote was the highest of 4 different quotes I got for the roof. I then asked him to measure the house for a quote on the siding, he said he would measure it and let me know in a few minutes and also email me a written quote for me to review; what happened next is pretty bizarre and unexplainable - I walked back inside my house and he hopped in his car and drove away literally screeching his tires as he did so. Needless to say I was dumbfounded. I could not understand what had just happened- all I could think was that maybe he had just received an emergency phone call that he needed to tend to right away. Well, I never heard back from him, not a phone call, not an email, nothing. Too bad for him because I had the work done by someone else and I paid cash for the whole job the day they finished- his unprofessionalism cost him a pretty good sum of money- this guy is bizarre!

I do not recall this particular customer. This customer did not purchase any work from Bobson. Their claims seem highly unlikely to me since I normally spend as much time as necessary with a client in order to provide an accurate estimate. Judging from their personal attacks that they claim that "I looked like I just rolled out of bed", I would assume that they were just having a bad day. Richard Miller

Workers were polite but most didnt speak English. I believe they spoke Polish. The manager was very nice and explained the progress of the job to me. One day about four workers were finished for the day but had to wait for their ride home. They waited til 8:00pm in my driveway. That was a little weird. I am very satisfied with the look and quality of the job. It took about 10 days.

They were efficient and courteous. They did a great job on clean-up. They didn't leave any junk around. They were also prompt. They either came when they said they would, or they called early. Overall, I thought they did an excellent job. The roof is beautiful, and the toolshed is wonderful.

Description of Work
They put a set of fold-down stairs into our attic, enlarged the cut opening for the attic, repainted some of the ceiling in that area, and did eight-foot doors for the toolshed. They also did my roof in 2007.

We have used this company once before because we liked the service that we had gotten before. They are licensed and insured. The work was good quality. They used good quality of materials. They used a master carpenter. The bonus was that they hauled all of the debris away after the job was done. They will call you if anything came up. There is a reason that they are still in business after 35 years. They are accountable and local. We got what we paid for.

Description of Work
We had them install four doors to our shed and they put in a new opening and a set of pull down stairs to the attic.

See above.

Description of Work
They replaced my front porch (among other things, like the roof and plaster repair); the cement began to flake by the next year. They wouldn't do anything about it. the supporting brick started coming out within a couple of years. The roof wasn't nailed properly, part of it started coming up and cost me $500 to have it repaired. They never put flashing around the dormers in the roof, which I didn't know. I kept trying to repair the leaks it caused by tarring every few years. Finally, everytime it rained, the water would just pour down the walls, I had to hire someone else to repair the under roof, put in the flashing and replace the gutters for another $3,000. They don't stand behind their work.

Very pleased with remodeled bathroom. They did a good job. Doug was accurate, clean, knew what he was doing and how to adapt to the problems of an older home. He constantly was checking with me on different decorating ideas and work in progress so that we knew what was going on and what to expect. My two Collies loved to watch him work from inside their crates!
